Ted, Steve
I can't really answer properly at this time, because I'm about to
head for the airport and sunny Detroit.
But, very quickly....Ted I remember your statement, quoted by
another forum member that colour photographs show the clothes and
black and white the soul (as near verbatim as I remember it). I
actually don't think B/W shows the soul, either. As you say in your
answer, you can't truly get inside someone's head with photographs.
Interesting, perhaps to draw a parallel to the Madeleine McCann
affair: it seems that a lot of people think the McCanns are guilty
of killing their own child because they don't show the 'right'
emotions in the media. Obviously the public has a perception of
what it expects to see - but how do you catch that when all you have
is a camera? (Whatever the public expectation might be?) And maybe
a manager/editor whose only concern is selling copy?

Don't think I'm criticising or at all denigrating what you do,
indeed, quite the reverse. But I was musing over the whole subject
area; indeed, a part of it that interests me. (I've always been
passionately interested in things historical, good bad, etc., and
man's inhumanitiy to man is an enormous part of that.) I'm not sure
what I feel about your subjects, and maybe that is a part of the
wider issue. I have a clearer sense of what I feel about the
subjects that I described, perhaps because they're both personal
experience-based and, given that I'm old enough to remember the
centre of Coventry in ruins after WWII, with direct contact with
people involved, including my own parents and brother, so much
closer to my own involvement.
I found it difficult to put on paper what I was trying to say, and
answering even more difficult, especially in a hurry. Maybe I'll
send off line when I return, rather than cluttering up the forum.
And, Ted, I'd be very happy to have a chat around a coffee, but I'm
usually several thousand miles away from you - so it's not going to
happen, methinks! :-) .....unless it's an e-coffee....
Cheer for now
Keith
thanks Keith...
I have mulled over your thoughts quite a bit, I believe I am coming
to understand...
until later,
have a good trip,
Steve
